Invoking the divine Manthra and seeking the blessing of the cosmic dancer Nataraja, Nandhanam School of Dance commenced its Classical Dance classes in April 2010, incorporating the traditions of Kerala Kalamandalam and with faculties who honed their skills from Kerala Kalamandalam. Nandhanam School of Dance aims to provide expert and professional training to students in the fine art of Indian Classical dance as defined by the Natyashastra and as laid down in the Vedas, there by promoting the Indian heritage and culture. Nandhanam School of Dance is an Institute dedicated to Indian Art, with an effort to promote and train interested students in Kuwait, children and adults alike, in various Classical / Folk Dance forms and music forms.India is a land of diverse cultures and traditions. A country, where both the simple and complex variations in physical, climatic and religious conditions - all come together, a melting pot of intermingling cultures, that has greatly influenced our traditions over many centuries. There is an underlying basic factor common to the whole of India, with variations over the ages in practices based on their local needs and influences, from both within and abroad, and this is visible in all aspects of our arts and culture including - music, dance, painting, sculpture, architecture etc.Indian art may, in a general way, be described as theological, sometimes hieratic, or, perhaps best of all as traditional. The purpose of Indian art, like all traditional art, is primarily to instruct humankind in the great first causes, which according to the seers, govern the material, spiritual and celestial worlds. Art is dedicated to communicating these great truths to mankind.We Indians are proud of our heritage and are keen to keep our traditions alive even in foreign lands. The search for excellence in Classical Dance forms in Kuwait, led to the formation of Nandhanam School of Dance with an aim to provide expert and professional training to students in the fine art of Indian Classical dance. \" Nandhanam\" focuses in finding and developing, with utmost perfection, unique talents in Kuwait as defined by the \"natya shastra\" and laid down in the \"veda\'s\", there by promoting the Indian Heritage and Culture away from our home country.Our vision statement is, \"An effort to be closer to the Indian Culture\". This is our driving force and we continue to concentrate on our efforts to promote classical dance forms across Kuwait. Within a couple of years of starting our first classes in Salmiya and Mangaf, we have expanded to other parts of Kuwait including Abbasiya, Reggai and Abu Khalifa.
